[@Sangsstuff]

Pia's reactions are so wholesome because she's so honest. If she doesn't like something you know it and when you played that B4 move her joy was truly infectious! Your relationship with your parents is another very inspiring part of your content. I love it!

[@alveolate]

i think pia can see that anna has made some real improvements... she can tell which were the key winning moves and was pleasantly surprised that anna found them too.

[@bobbymorane5166]

So true !

[@NicHeuwGuitar]

That right there, I hope I will still be as passionate as Pia when I'm her age. They are so amazing, the love that they have for chess, I can only imagine what it's like to have one single unifying passion in a family, must be really unique to grow up in a household where both mom and dad are grandmasters...

[@DJtheLoungeLizard]

The most impressive aspect of her honesty, is that every game she enters, her opponent has a quick and in-depth account of her thought process. She plays at a disadvantage every game because her opponent not only knows her habits but how decides her moves. She is also very open to discuss her weaknesses. I believe this opponent wanted "get in her head" and rattle her a bit and pressure her on time. But it backfired.

[@alanwhiplington5504]

She's a really nice kid.

[@chojinacd]

It must feel so nice having this passion in common with your parents ❤

[@avoidmyrage2596]

And seeing just how proud your mom is of your prowess! No wonder Anna is smiling from ear to ear. Truly amazing.

[@rein_engel]

I bet it is a lot of pressure too though

[@NichtWunderkind]

​@@rein_engelnot really, atleast not her family You can see they are really supportive

[@Neutralius]

​@@rein_engelThere is no pressure in her family. Just joy and love.

[@rein_engel]

@@NichtWunderkind Talking about the internal pressure of course

[@michaelturk9625]

Well done Anna. You’re an inspiration to a 75 year old beginner.

[@endertrkz6822]

is your surename turk?

[@naquihasanshamsi9937]

Wow you started very early

[@michaelturk9625]

@@endertrkz6822 yes

[@malindarayallen]

And you are an inspiration to a 49 year old beginner!😊

[@cloudysunset2102]

Me too, 1948 was a good year for birthing chess players..... to start in 75 years! Lol.

[@oliverjoshuagray3849]

Well done Anna! Your mum’s reactions are so heart warming, it’s lovely to see how proud she is!

[@TheNameOfJesus]

This is possibly my favourite video from Anna, partly because of her mom's reactions, and partly because she generally sticks to the game's analysis.

[@jimstrube294]

They were my favourite part.

[@harstar12345]

Your mom's reactions make me so happy, her pride in you brings a tear to my eye ❤

[@JHSullivanIII]

Mom's reactions are equally entertaining when she is not happy. : )

[@tahoemike5828]

Ok, I fell down a KZbin rabbit hole watching 'one' of your videos about 24 hours ago. I was actually waiting for you to post this, and I am one of the first to see it. I haven't played chess since I made a chess board in shop class in seventh grade (about 1977ish). I just got done watching a video about pawn end games. I just WHAT?!?!? You are a tremendous ambassador for the game.

[@CensingMarker51]

she truly is a shining star in the chess community

[@FredPlanatia]

cool. I also made a chess board in shop class. Mine was hexagonal for a three player version of chess. But i never actually played a game on it!

[@tjgh2764]

your mother getting so hyped is the funniest thing ive seen today

[@martinlechner403]

The streams where Pia comments the games are so next level. Best format I’ve watched on Twitch all year. That joy & excitement when Anna finds the best moves. The anxiety around time control. Overall a true 💯 experience

[@BenRook]

I loved the mom reactions...the second best thing about this game. But the absolute best thing I loved was your ability to find the right moves...despite his blitzing out moves early while you was burning time to find your moves...to you getting the upper hand as play continued. Bravo!

[@Marc0coco]

These tournament video's are super nice to watch! Also love the added reactions of Pia for the nice moments❤

[@jacobwagon3391]

18:36 I do Love cutting to Pia's Insight/hosting cam, how ever breif they might be 🥺👏🏽👍🏽

[@dennis9944]

good thinking, anna! and there is a lesson this game taught us: to not doubt ourselves in a chess game. seeing how your opponent kept playing with a worse position, and how that sometimes made you confused - for thinking u were worse or better at times - showed another challenging thing about tournaments... if we can see an engine bar on the screen {non-stop analyzing} it almost looked easy. however, in person with your mind and human brain only, it is difficult to figure whether your position is good or bad, plus calculating moves is hard, and not to mention him playing fast {with a lot of ‘confidence’} is another factor. so it is super nice that u share your thoughts throughout the game with us! this was a very interesting perspective. well deserved!

[@dennis9944]

also there were many many variations from the beggining/opening- and u didn’t get scared abt

[@jasmint6703]

The footage of Mom is priceless.

[@MarcIzq2]

Pia's reaction after you play b4 is so wholesome and so honest. It's really inspiring to see how supportive your parents are and how proud they are of you ❤ Also it was a really good game! I think you have many chances of winning this tournament! Keep it up!!

[@kikohernandez2433]

hahaha your mom's reaction is everything! she was so proud you actually found the best move in less than 40 mins 😂

[@joeb4142]

🙄

[@JABARDELLI]

Anna! Great Round No. 4 Victory!! Well thought out and “well deserved” is right! Forward and onward to Round No. 5 Victory!!! ❤

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Once again, all the other games had finished already. (Anna was made to smile 4 Us)

[@gonzosoldier8179]

It was so nice to watch Pia's reactions. She must be so proud

[@blvdk]

I love these match replays, very fun and informative. Nice touch adding your mom's reactions. Good luck in the coming matches!

[@erikjansson2329]

Congratulations on your results thus far! I’m watching your live Sunday game right now. Such a great idea to use Pia’s commentary in these main channel recaps as well. Please use more of that footage in your recaps!

[@dennis9944]

it’s so cute to see your mother’s reaction to the game!

[@blizzard2099]

Her passion is contagious. Such a wonderful person to follow.

[@i_boerni5814]

Great idea to add your mom's reaction to your recaps! 👍🥰

[@teenadonewald1869]

Good luck! Love to watch you play, your energy is amazing. You can do this, I want to see you win the tournament! Your GM mom reaction was heartwarming. I thought she would bust with pride.

[@JV-uf2mv]

I love your videos, and seeing your mom get so excited for you is the sweetest thing. You guys are awesome.

[@MrHugin]

Bravo! 🎉 Thrilled to follow your progress in Stockholm. These are by far the most entertaining chess videos I have ever seen. The whole personal setup and comitment with Pia's analysis and your teamwork is amazing. Streams like this will surely contribute to the growth of chess in the next geneneration.

[@johannahartmann1118]

This was amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me so happy to see you play ❤

[@barrywebber100]

Very well done Anna! That seemed to be a brilliant game by you from start to finish. I hope you can keep it up! Best wishes for today's game!

[@garynagle3093]

Loved your mom’s reaction, but your excitement telling us about the match and ultimate victory was a joy to see. Best of luck in the next match

[@laurentlecorvec133]

I'm delighted to see you still smiling every time, and that you finished the year in style. Victory suits you so well. Happy New Year to you and your family, I hope you continue on this path.

[@AN-cy7xm]

Loved seeing your mom thoroughly enjoy your choices! Your analysis is always so great because it's clear and you're passionate.

[@jonathannelson9765]

Man I love u guys so much, your family is so awesome, so happy I found such a great channel. Congratulations on your win, and hope you continue to do well in your tournament 😁

[@jafar2940]

So heartwarming to see how happy your mom was with your performance… well done.

[@daveseddon5227]

Brilliant! Such a good game to watch. Didn't see it live but saw your mom's video - excellent! Best of luck on New Year's Eve! 😊👍

[@ayeoooo]

The excitement you have for chess has gotten me into playing. Thank you. Happy new year 🎉 good luck in tournament

[@benjaminfranklinkivettiv9433]

Great job Anna! I Love the enthusiasm. Good luck today!!!🤞🤞🤞

Pia's enthusiasm is as contagious as Anna's smile. ❤

[@danparks8894]

That is an amazingly well played win. What a journey so far and best of luck for tomorrow!

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Woohoo! HalleluYAH! Gratulerer masse Anna! Was so informative as well to learn from this game, gonna save this for further study. Thank you again.

[@iamalittleboat]

Seems to me that you've levelled up 😁 Cheering for you all the way!

[@jonathanlongoria5421]

I'm routing for you Anna on all your tournaments this year. Loving these recap videos. Learning a lot from you. Good Luck.

[@AndrewBrophy-Romans8.1]

Congrats, Anna! So happy for you. Beautiful game and best of luck tomorrow! 🙏

[@borislavzirovic2386]

Congratulations on the victory! Keep up the good work Anna! Also, your mom's reactions are very funny ( in a good way ) and it's lovely to see how much she supports you. I imagine both of your parents are very happy that not only do you play chess, but are very good at it too :) And you'll get even better I'm sure.

[@FlawedAvatar]

Very exciting to watch. Congratulations on your win Anna!

[@p3rafael]

I'm rooting for you to win all the matches in this chess tournament, Anna! But know that even if you lose, you'll still be the most amazing player to me! For your effort, your talent, your simplicity, and humility, for your charisma and respect towards all opponents. Usually, players seek victory by overcoming the opponent, but you seek victory by surpassing yourself, and that's inspiring! Good luck, and thank you for sharing all this experience with us!

[@treau3131]

I have not played chess in a very long time. Your smile and enthusiasm really have rekindled a light in me. I forgot how much I missed the game. I have to say the way you explain things is refreshing. I am able to understand the process and how you got to a certain position in the natch. Thank you so very much.

[@kamilbeelidebelfort3319]

Beautifully played Anna! Well deserved! Good luck in the upcoming games & happy new year! :)

[@BeUnadulterated]

Awesome insight and well deserved! Good luck!!

[@thb3306]

I watched your mother's commentary and it was so much fun! You winning was a lot of fun, too 😉

[@exdejesus]

Congratulations! That was great that your king was so far down the board like that! Your mother was so proud of how well you played!

[@timothyclarke5979]

Seeing your explanation of this game made me feel very happy. I agree your win was beautiful. Well done and thank you.

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Awesome game, mom's reaction was priceless! What a beautiful moment! Good luck on your next game!

Once again, great commentary that sends me scrambling to look up the names of openings. )) Thank you so much, really. I love it that you so know your stuff. ))

This was a great video AND your mother's reaction was priceless. Pure love. Cheers!

Beautiful win assisted by King. We are proud for you 🎉🎉 happy new year and good luck with your early game tomorrow. Greetings from Belgium

[@BachRachMate]

I am learning so much from these videos. Thank you Anna!

[@pianomikey0]

This is an opening I play regularly, so I really appreciate you going closely through the opening moves. I will often play Benoni with Black too, so this is really relevant to my games!

[@jamesb2034]

I watched some of the live stream video, and one thing is obvious Anna, you are a great competitor! It seems as though your opponent was more focused on getting you into time trouble, while you were focused on the full complexity of the position. That was a much deserved win. Good luck the rest of the way!

[@smoorej]

Fantastic win Anna! Your mom’s reactions were priceless! Thank you for all your great chess content.

[@wesdonze2014]

Well done - love your enthusiasm and your mums reactions too. Keep it up

[@robertschmidt9301]

Congratulations Anna! Love watching your game evolve and grow. Less overthinking on this one. Your one 20 minute study period seemed to yield many benefits. Your opponent was a class act being willing to discuss the game and being so supportive of your play..

[@frankharris9601]

Love it Anna , also very proud of you ,awesome work

[@improveourselves3929]

Congratulations Anna on the beautiful well-played game! Yes get some rest and best of luck on tomorrow's game! 🙂

[@user-bn9qk5ij7c]

Great following this on New Year's Eve, from Port Edward, South Africa. Very educational and a great show!

[@benjaminbrewer2569]

Thank you so much for such an entertaining explanation of your game.

[@sancoribero]

Great job, Anna! Also, I love your mom's reactions. Keep up the great work!

[@justafriend13]

Your mom's reaction is priceless! Congrats Anna!

[@ashameanslife]

Well done Anna!! Really great performance! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@preztrigger]

love the reactions from both you and your mom

[@psychohist]

Good luck if the game isn't already over. Would like to see standings - there can't be that many people ahead of you now. Love the long, slow conversions.

[@nacho__063]

Me estan encantando estos post game análisis. Feliz año Anna!!!

[@sammydavis5628]

Your mum being so happy about you finding the great moves is just adorable. Great game too, hope it continues!

[@ZarehGorjian]

Appreciate your explanation of the game and the reasoning behind moves

[@LostHate]

Awesome! I missed the end of the Twitch stream glad you won.

[@joeb4142]

I’m so impressed not only with Anna’s play in the game but with her willingness to be so very open about her thought processes and emotions. Bravo Anna and congratulations! 👏🏻😊👍🏻

[@bargdaffy1535]

So happy for you Anna, Happy New Year!

[@jackytheindo]

Great analysis, best wishes on otb, Happy New Year!

[@JJ-rk2hp]

You are getting better and better, not only as a player but as a content maker, analyzer, and game commentator; for that, you deserve appreciation. Good job! I hope we'll have the pleasure of enjoying your content and fun streams for a long time! The clip with Pia's reaction is priceless

[@djcoolrule]

Great match and good luck tomorrow. Prayers for victory and happy new year!

[@misssayed9211]

Anna you're taking this so well and we have connected SO MUCH more to you now because it's just this concept we have that good players don't lose! But seeing you tells us that it doesn't determine how good or bad you are! This is more valuable than seeing you winning every game. Yet, I must say that I would dig deep inside and ask myself what are the subconscious emotional reasons for not soaring past this? This is where this is coming from. And it will give you insight and most possibly help you move past this block Either way you're amazing and this has turned me into a TRUE fan!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Kursedet]

Never heard of en passant. I was so confused until I looked it up. Thanks for explaining so much of your process. Im constantly learning from your videos.

[@arturog17]

Anna!……I LOVED YOUR MOTHER’S REACTIONS!!💕……PLEASE include her more often in future games!!🙏 And you played a terrific game!!👏👏 (specially when taking in consideration time issues!!). Well done!!🙌👏👏💕

[@Adideva3]

That was awesome Anna, good luck today, hope you win!!!
